J. M. Barrie's book My Lady Nicotine is about a man's first love. The love, as implied by the title, is not for a lady but rather for tobacco, and more specifically for a particular mix of tobacco.

Produktbeschreibung
J. M. Barrie's book My Lady Nicotine is about a man's first love. The love, as implied by the title, is not for a lady but rather for tobacco, and more specifically for a particular mix of tobacco. The story mostly centers on his youthful years, when he would get together with his buddies to smoke his Arcadia tobacco blend, which they regarded as the pinnacle of all tobacco. In many ways, the story is less about tobacco and more about Victorian England's ideologies and the ways in which a group of men might come together to talk and have fun. The Arcadia blend may be what binds the buddies together, but most of the narrative focuses on their activities or sights when they are together. Of fact, this book and the same author's Little White Bird have a lot in common stylistically. Both stories revolve around single bachelors who spend a lot of time lazing around with close friends who also indulge in the same vices while being looked after by subpar individuals who are just suitable for serving. The aspects of his nephew's visit are uncannily identical to the games he used to play with his stepchildren.

Autorenporträt
Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet, OM, was a Scottish novelist and playwright, most famously known for creating Peter Pan. He was born on May 9, 1860, in Kirriemuir, Scotland, and was educated in his hometown before moving to London. Barrie achieved success as both a novelist and a playwright, writing works that resonated with audiences for their wit, charm, and deeper social commentary. His best-known creation, Peter Pan, introduced the world to the timeless character of the boy who never grows up, influencing generations of readers and theatre goers. Barrie's works often explored themes of childhood, fantasy, and the complexities of growing up. In 1894, he married Mary Ansell, though their marriage ended in divorce in 1909. Barrie's later years saw him become a baronet and receive numerous accolades, including his appointment as a member of the Order of Merit. He passed away on June 19, 1937, in Marylebone, London, at the age of 77. His legacy, especially through Peter Pan, continues to influence literature, theatre, and film today.
